Summary
The map area contains two mare provinces, one terra province, and one province of mixed mare and terra. The maria are the semicircular southern half of Mare Crisium and the northeast sector of Mare Fedunditatis. The massive belt of terra that arcs across the quadrangle between these maria is the south rim of the Crisium multi-ringed basin; its southwest part is probably superposed on an older, originally similar, accurate rim of the Fecunditatis basin. The fourth province, in the southeast corner, includes small irregular maria such as Mare Undarum and Mare Spumans and intervening peninsulas and islands of terra.

Digitized 1:1,000,000-scale geologic map of the LAC62 - Mare Undarum Quadrangle of the Moon. Originally mapped on Lunar Base Chart USAF-ACIC imagery. The scanned map sheet was imported into ArcMap and georeferenced to the more current 2013 global WAC mosaic basemap. Contacts and geologic units were digitized and attributed based on type and unit name
